I highly recommend the New Orleans roll - yum! We got our usual noodles and sushi. Our kids enjoyed their plain food but me & my husband loved the variation of rolls we ordered. The place is your average restaurant, nothing special & when you first walk in there's an interesting smell that we quickly got used to. It wasn't anything that would give you a headache, something like old food and cleaning products but faint-ish. Nothing that would stop me from coming back. We really like coming here when we're in the area which is rare but we love the vibe.

Now I remember why I drive 30 minutes from Brick to Freehold for this chicken bento box. I caught…read morethe lunch special for just $14, and it was absolutely worth it. Everything was spot on. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and incredibly tender. The portion was so generous that I couldn't even finish it. If I had to make one small suggestion, it would be to offer the option to substitute the soup or salad for a couple of spring rolls. Other than that, I genuinely can't find a single flaw. Delicious food, great value, and definitely worth the drive. I'll be back! I've been coming here for 15/20 years now

We've been coming here for years, and tonight was honestly just a really bad experience…read more We walked in and were told the only table left was reserved. Then they said actually it was fine, we could sit there because another table would open up for the reservation. We sat down, ordered drinks, got settled. A few minutes later a different waitress came over and told us we had to get up because the table was reserved and "she didn't know." No real apology. No manager. Just "you need to move." At that point we just left. Mistakes happen. But asking customers to get up after they're already seated because of your poor internal communication is bad service. Doing it with zero ownership or effort to make it right makes it worse. The food here is fine. It's not so incredible that it makes up for being treated like an inconvenience. Now that they're getting busier, it feels like customer service has slipped even more from their previously just acceptable level. Plenty of other sushi spots around that don't make you get up mid-meal. We won't be back.

Inside, the restaurant is a bit small but cozy and a local spot I love to bring my friends and family to. I also recommend their lunch roll specials, which allow you to pick your 2-3 rolls and each come with a soup and salad. All in all, one of my favorite places for sushi in the Marlboro/Monmouth area!

My cousin has been telling me about this spot in Freehold for a few weeks now and finally my girlfriend and I had dinner here with him and it was fantastic! Everything we ordered were from the daily specials - Salmon Avocado Misiti's Sauce (spectacular!), Toro Taku Rice (AMAZING!), and Fluke Uzuzukuri Poazu (delicious!) were my favorites but everything we ordered was top quality! We arrived as soon as they opened at 5pm on a Sunday so we got there before the rush and yes there is typically a rush from what I was told. The owner spent a lot of time talking with us as she knows my cousin who has become a regular and she was absolutely charming. I'm looking forward to going back here and becoming a regular myself.

***2 1/2 stars***…read more This was one of the oddest sushi restaurant experiences I've ever had. I came here for lunch on Saturday with the Millennial Chum, who may have gotten into a mild rumble with a member of the staff a decade ago when she was a much younger Millennial Chum, but was still willing to return and give this a shot. No rumbles this time, but the service and atmosphere left a very strange impression. We stopped by at the height of lunch hour around 1PM - part of my thought process was that sushi tends to be pretty quick for sit-down service, so we weren't likely to have an issue seeing the 2PM Nicole Kidman porn nearby (I was correct on that front at least). The minute we walked in, we both looked at each other in confusion - it was SO quiet and empty, I actually felt self-conscious walking through the restaurant to our designated booth. I think there was one other party in there, but even with that it was honestly like being in a mausoleum. Strange. I decided to get three rolls - two normal, one edgy. This is now the second time in a few months that I've encountered a sushi menu that doesn't have salmon/avocado on it, which I consider one of the most common hand rolls, but it wasn't an issue to order it off menu. I also got a sweet potato roll and a Winter Roll. The Winter Roll was the star here - loved the flavors and it sort of tasted like a Dorito in a good way (which I assume is a hat tip to the crab meat on top). Definitely something I'd get again. The salmon/avocado was fine; a little light on the ingredients but tasted fresh. I just did not like the Sweet Potato roll, and I can't quite put my finger on it. This is one I get a lot, and taste-wise just wasn't up to par. Maybe the potato wasn't as ripe as I'm used to? The Millennial Chum is not a sushi person but given the lack of fish this was a pretty safe test roll for her, and she DID like it for what it's worth. Another weird touch? In my experience, sushi places tend to have very friendly staff, which I always assumed was cultural and/or a way of overcompensating for language barriers, etc. The waitstaff we encountered were the sushi restaurant equivalent of Daria - everyone was unsmiling and very monotone. Overall, the turnaround time wasn't bad (we got to the Nicole Kidman porn with time to spare), but the food didn't come out at the same time, which was a little annoying. The Millennial Chum's Shrimp Teriyaki came out first, then a few moments later two out of my three rolls came, but it took another five minutes at least for the final roll to show up. Not the biggest deal in the world (I certainly had something to munch on while I waited) but I like to eat my rolls simultaneously so I'm not just eating one flavor to end the meal. That was unusual, and also strange (theme of the meal) since there was no one else really in the restaurant. This was a tough one to gauge. The sushi overall was decent but it just wasn't a comfortable experience. Unless the food is absolutely mindblowing, the vibe really matters and can make the difference. Daria was a cutting edge comedy that deserved a better platform than MTV - it doesn't make for a great sushi lunch.

The place was nice, quaint with your typical Japanese Restaurant flare. Not pretentious. Comfortable and seemingly spacious enough for 6 people. The food was very good. I had the Chirashi Sashimi and the fish was fresh. Didn't feel like it was frozen for days. My wife and son enjoyed the Steak Teriyaki Bento Box, My other son found his Sushi Roll very satisfying. Even my daughter, who is very picky, like her Chicken Katsu. I also had the Tokyo IPA. It was surprisingly good! It didn't have that tiresome bitter IPA taste. I was delightfully refreshing. This place is definitely worth visiting. I should really explore the back roads of my area more and not just go up-and-down Route 9 or 18 or trekking to NYC. There could be more hidden gems that I haven't discovered.

I really loved how they presented a boatload of Sashimi and Sushi. The boatload of sashimi and sushi were really fresh and of high quality. The Kani salad was really good. The miso soup was just okay though, a little improvement is needed if I may suggest. The Cheesecake and the Green tea ice cream are very good. My friend and I really enjoyed in this restaurant after getting tired of playing pickle ball nearby. I will definitely recommend this restaurant and will go back again to experience the other list in their menu.
